Hi,
Continuing the story of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza from yesterday:
"Bar Kamtza said: I will pay for half of your feast!
"The host said: No.
"Bar Kamtza said: I will pay for your entire feast!
"The host said: No. He grabbed Bar Kamtza by the hand, picked him up and removed him. [Worth noting - He delegated invitations of friends to a servant, but handled the eviction of his enemy himself.]
"Bar Kamtza said: Since the Sages were sitting there and they did not protest, I see that this treatment is appropriate in their eyes! I will spread a harmful rumor about them to the palace."
(to be continued)
(Talmud, Gittin 56a)
